Alex Dowsett has insisted that winning his fourth British time trial title was a difficult experience, despite securing victory by over three minutes.
Dowsett becomes only the second rider to win four domestic crowns, with Stuart Dangerfield the other record holder, but the Commonwealth champion has revealed the obstacles that he had to overcome in the event at Cadwell Park.
The 26-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "That was tough. I didn't have a radio so I had no idea where I was in relation to anyone else.
"The course itself - in training I thought it would be easier in the race but it was actually harder, so I had no idea how well I was going out there."
Edmund Bradbury finished in second place, 211 seconds adrift of Dowsett.
